Grown Ups

I got to get away to Atlanta after a rough spell in philly. It was definitely needed; 1-I missed my Best Friend honestly, 2-I needed to get the hell outta philly, 3-something major always comes out of being with my girls. Madam Fab was already down there, but the biggest surprise was seeing my girl Nikky who currently plays guard for Madrid's Female All-Star team!!! She's finally home for a 3-month break. It was all laughs from the minute my plane landed and it felt good to be with them again, much needed release, but something hit me as we sat on Peach St. at lunch...Janet was living on her own down there, working on her Masters while working for GE as a QI/QA analyst, Jailah was considering moving down there and working on her Masters in Nursing, Nikky was doing her thing in Madrid and finally truly happy, and in a year, I'll be a college graduate working on a secondary degree as well {possibly in Atlanta}-we weren't little girls anymore. Mom and Dad weren't there telling us what we could and couldn't do, there were no high school teachers breathing down our backs to get work done, there was none of that, we had somehow dropped childhood and wrapped ourselves in adult-hood without really realizing the transition we were making.

I love my girls and I'm so proud of who we've become...memories keep me smiling but thoughts and visions about where we will probably be very soon makes me too excited. In a year or two I will be maid-of-honor at the wedding of the century, maybe a god-mom, throwing house warming parties but I could not imagine anything futuristic without them {aww tears...lol}

Of course we talked and talked about everything and the reoccuring topics were careers and relationships...too much to write about here but in the end I had to question: Can one reach their future if their past is still present???

To all the newly wrapped grown ups: It's all down hill from here, but down hill's always the best part of the ride;-) {the great/corny Nikky}LOL
